Silicone Cooking Spatula – Cut-out Slotted Head

Falafel comes out of the oil carrying half a ladle of it. Boiled potatoes arrive at the table in a puddle. The tool lifted the food and brought the liquid along too.

How Does the Cut-Out Head on This Silicone Serving Spoon Drain Oil as You Lift?

• Cut-out head, so the liquid stays behind: falafel and chips leave the oil in the pan, boiled potatoes arrive dry, and meat comes out of stock without the stock.
• It saves you the colander: serving straight from the pot drains as it lifts, which is one fewer pan in the sink at the end of the meal.
• 150 g, because the slots are material removed: lighter in the hand than a solid head. It lifts things out of liquid and is no bowl scraper.
• Cool where a metal slotted spoon is hot: silicone and wood barely conduct, so the heat of boiling water or frying oil stops at the food and never reaches your hand.
• Nothing crusts in the slots: hot oil and starchy water bake into the corners of a metal slotted spoon; silicone lets go of both under a running tap.

Where Can You Use This Cut-Out Silicone Serving Spoon?

• Lifting falafel and chips out of hot oil, leaving the oil in the pan
• Taking boiled potatoes and carrots out of the water so they reach the plate dry
• Fishing meat out of a pot of stock
• Serving vegetables straight from the pot with no colander in between
• Mixing a salad

Why Choose a Slotted Head Over a Solid One for Draining?

• Slots keep the food and drop the liquid: a solid head carries whatever it lifts; this one drains as it serves straight from the pot, so there is one fewer pan in the sink.
• Cool where a metal slotted spoon is hot: steel carries heat straight up its shaft, silicone conducts almost nothing, and the wooden handle conducts less still.
• The trade-off of the slots: they are material taken out, which is why it weighs 150 g and why it lifts things out of liquid and does not scrape a bowl clean.

Details

Material & Build

• Head: flexible silicone, cut out with open slots. It drains as it lifts, and it is gentle enough to be worked right around the base of a coated pot.
• Handle: wood. Stays cool while the head is in hot fat, and does not soften or deform against a hot pot rim the way a plastic handle can.
• Heat: high temperatures on stovetops, in ovens and on grills.

Dimensions

• Weight: 150 g. Lighter in the hand than a solid head of the same design, because the slots are material removed.

Colours

• White, with gray also available.

Care

• Rinse under a running tap: the slots let go of oil and starch. Dry the wooden handle before storing it.
